OK - just watched Emma Watson give a speech on feminism at the United Nations so perhaps I am just a little bit more aware, but you are perpetuating the myth that dinner is Mom's domain (as well as the ridiculous image of Super Mom going from work to the gym to soccer to PTA - where is dad in all this?). I know some of you will think I am overreacting but even subtle stereotypes damage.

it would be helpful if you could post a link to the "really delicious ideas at better recipes that involve little or no prep time."

I disagree with you about crock pot recipes because the main purpose is to have a meal that is delicious and ready to eat when you get back from work, not to eliminate all your work. Also, I have found some really delicious ideas at Better Recipes that involve little to no prep time. While I do work for them, I use them myself because they honestly have a ton of really delicious ideas. They are really worth checking out.

I have a slow cooker but I find that, if you want a good meal out of it, there is a significant amount of prep work. Slow cookers are advertised as something that makes kitchen life easier, and I disagree. The prep, pre-cooking, and cleanup remain the same.
